"Located inside a revamped dépanneur (québécois-speak for corner store or bodega), this hip lunch counter / microbrew shop / zine-stand dishes out stacked pulled pork and veggie pulled pork sandwiches while playing mixtapes that will confuse your Shazam. Online ordering and outdoor seating are added bonuses." - Dynamo
"Rarely can one find a grilled cheese sandwich of this magnitude, but the grilled halloumi sandwich at Le Pick Up is a marvel. Served with mint slaw, honey, and harissa mayo, it arguably outshines the (also very good) pulled pork option that made a name for this lunch counter." - Erinn Blicher
"The veg menu at Le-Pick Up isn’t lengthy, but omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans flock to this beloved Mile-Ex dépanneur/lunch counter for its signature sweet and spicy vegan pulled pork sandwiches. And while the faux-pork is excellent, Le Pick-Up’s halloumi sandwich is vastly underrated. It also has a resto-bar location in Hochelaga." - Holly Tousignant
"An icon among the septum-pierced inner-north crowd, dépanneur-meets-restaurant Le Pick-Up specializes in hearty, affordable sandwiches. A perennial favourite is the pulled pork — tangy, saucy, sloppy. It’s brightened with pickles and served on bread that soaks up all the juice. (A vegan version is also available.)" - Valerie Silva
"A hybrid shop that blends diner, convenience store, and coffee‑shop vibes, stocking local Québécois beer, kombucha, and imported Club Mate; the menu includes well-executed classics like a triple-decker chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle-mayo sandwich, plus addictive, spicy, crispy home fries. The showstopper is a grilled halloumi sandwich built on toasted seeded bread with a layer of fatty, tangy, golden-griddled halloumi, a generous mint‑laced slaw for crunch and brightness, and harissa-honey mayo spread on both slices for a sweet, spicy, creamy, smoky finish — a complex, perfectly balanced combination that left the reviewer longing to return." - ByBryan Fountain
